A monkey threw a wrench in my plans :(

Wednesday, August 8, 2007

So you know when you've figured out the perfect plan? A plan where everything fits just perfectly and you get everthing you want?

Well when a monkey wrench is thrown into your plans, it doesn't make you feel very good at all. In fact, if you're a little on the emotional side like me, you feel like crying in frustration a bit.

The Chateau Laurier has always allowed wedding photographs to be taken in their hotel. If you're not having your reception there you have to pay a fee (something like $125). So when I asked about making such arrangements on my wedding day, I got the following shocking response:

Congratulations on your engagement, and thank you for your interest in including Fairmont Château Laurier as part of your celebrations!
We unfortunately no longer allow outside wedding parties to take their wedding photography in the Hotel. We are very busy at any given time with in-house wedding parties, and as such we have decided to reserve this privilege for those guests who are holding their reception with us as well. We were finding it difficult to conduct the flow of traffic between in-house and outside guests, as they all need to use the same areas of the hotel at the same time.
Perhaps you could try the Museum of Civilization, or the Art Gallery?
I thank you in advance for your understanding, and wish you a wonderful wedding day!

Sigh, that's really too bad as our photographer takes such beautiful photos in the Chateau Laurier. Its a hotel that is beautiful in that antique and historical sort of way, you know what I mean? I was even planning on spending my wedding night at their hotel :(

So after I get over my despair, what are my other options for possible indoor portrait locations? The National Art Gallery? The Museum of Civilization? Will I run into the same problems at these locations?

    Not to worry about what they say.... my plan is to take pictures in that hotel anyways, we are paid guest afterall and there is nothing that says that hotel guests can't take pictures inside the hotel!
